The Hellcat - We all know what it is. Dodge & FCA has done an amazing job marketing and pushing this idea that you need 700hp. They honestly have me convinced and I feel like I might get one to replace the Impala someday. Who really knows, it all depends on where they go in price on the used market. The other trick is finding one that wasn’t tracked, like I do below.

The Hellcat wasn’t enough apparently, so they made the Redeye. “Possessed by The Demon” is one of their taglines and it’s true. They basically took the normal Hellcat and put some Demon parts on, resulting in 797hp… Think about that. Seven-Hundred-Ninety-Seven Horsepower! Add in a 10.8 second quarter mile time. That is insane that they are even allowed to sell this thing. I can imagine a random accountant or stock broker picking one of these up due to excessive box checking. The results are predictable but not ideal. Hopefully that doesn’t happen and they stay comfortably in the garage until I can afford one.

Anyways - the video below is just a leasurly if not somewhat exciting few laps around the track. This event had a professional in the passenger seat for good reason. Lots of automotive journalists can’t be trusted… I think we all did pretty good though and when I watch this back I really wish they didn’t have me on the track with anybody else. Until next time Hellcat Redeye.
